Xianji Courtyard is much larger than Gu Xiyan imagined, and the architectural style of the courtyard house in the north and the architectural style of the garden in the south of the Yangtze River appear here separately. There will be a delicate courtyard house next to the Quqiao Pavilion, behind the fence of the corridor is a simple bungalow, and a rockery made of Taihu Lake stones emerges between the high eaves and trees, making the Xianji Courtyard look indescribably weird, as if these buildings have not undergone any planning, how to build as you want, and where you want to build, you can build it wherever you want.

Mama Qian led them through a forest and stopped in front of a five-room bungalow.

The low eaves, the low steps, the clumps of yellow chrysanthemums blooming in front of the stone steps, and the blue velvet curtain stood two little girls who were as silent as stone sculptures.

Mama Qian smiled and said, "Three girls, please wait a moment, let me report it." ”

"Mama, please!" Liu Meier and the beautiful Yongrong of everyone represented the three of them to socialize with Mama Qian.

Mama Qian walked towards the room with a smile, and the little girl standing in front of the door lifted the curtain for her.

Liu Mei'er took the opportunity to say to Gu Xiyan: "Don't be nervous, Mrs. Xu is very kind." ”

Kind?

The women in this house probably can't get along with kindness!

But when Gu Xiyan saw Mrs. Xu, the word "kindness" still involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Compared with Mrs. Wei's beauty beyond her age, Mrs. Xu has a look that matches her status. The silver hair is neatly curled at the back of her head, the appropriate makeup makes the fair but already loose skin look ruddy and energetic, and the old eyes have a transparent, calm and calm after experiencing thousands of mountains and rivers, she smiled slightly, revealing a loving, kind, and peaceful taste.

"The Wei family is really a beauty, don't talk about the previous generation, you look at these three sisters, all of them are beautiful, and they are all beautiful."

Mrs. Xu said to Mama Yi beside her with a smile.

"yes, yes!" Mama Yi accompanied the smiling face. "Not only pretty, but also empathetic. Otherwise, how could Mrs. Wei take a few juniors with her for three days to relieve her boredom! ”

Liu Meier hurriedly bent her knees and saluted: "Don't dare to be a lady to praise." ”

Gu Xiyan and Wei Shiying also hurriedly saluted.

Mrs. Xu's eyes were very sincere, and she smiled: "You are not outsiders, so you don't have to be so formal." A girl Gu came two days ago, who is it? ”

Gu Xiyan hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "Madam, my niece is Gu Xiyan!" ”

Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile, pointed at Wei Shiying and said, "Then you, is Wei Shiying?" ”

Wei Shiying also hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "Madam." Niece Wei Shiying, please say hello to you! ”

Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wei's body is weak, you juniors have to bear a little more ......" She babbled and instructed them how to take good care of Mrs. Wei, as if Mrs. Wei was terminally ill and was about to die.

Gu Xiyan carefully observed Mrs. Xu's expression on the side.

She didn't seem to show any abnormality to Wei Shiying's appearance at all!

She met Wei Shiying for the first time. I can ask myself first, and then ask Wei Ying, and when I see her face, there is nothing strange at all, I am really calm!

Mrs. Xu spoke for about ten minutes. Someone came in and said: "The ancestor of Xiangfeng Hutong has come to greet you!" ”

This "ancestor of Xiangfeng Hutong" may be some elder of the Qi family, Mrs. Xu heard it and said angrily: "Why are you so ignorant. How can she let her old man come to me to say goodbye, quickly, put the old ancestor in the Xuanhe Ju Warm Pavilion where the original Mrs. rested and sat down, this cold day, |This book is reprinted and picked up~ Lu κ Literature Network|Don't freeze...... "After speaking, he actually got up in person and wanted to greet the "old ancestor". It was Mama Yi who stopped her: "Madam, several stewards here are waiting to reply." You go, who takes the idea. I'll go and wait! ”

Mrs. Xu thought for a moment, nodded, and instructed very carefully: "The brazier in the house uses the silver silk carbon in my house, and the tea uses Lao Junmei, but don't let her old man drink any oolong tea." The raw and cold fruit was carefully roasted on the stove and then given to her old man's family...... "She explained everything in detail. Finally, he said: "Haosheng served in front of her old man, saying that I would go as soon as I was busy." ”

Mama Yi respectfully responded. Then he went out with a few mothers-in-law. Seeing this, Gu Xiyan also glanced at Liu Mei'er, Liu Mei'er naturally knew it, and got up to say goodbye: "Madame is busy here, our sisters will go to Yu Nian Pavilion first, and see if there is anything we can help over there." ”

Mrs. Xu asked people to grab candy for them, and said with a smile: "You young people, you are not happy to accompany us old women. Go play, but don't run far so you won't find anyone when the lights are lit! ”

The three of them responded one after another, saluted Mrs. Xu again, and went out together.

The front of the door was deserted, and the two girls standing at the door still didn't move their eyebrows like stone statues.

Looking at the forest in front of him, although it was winter, the branches and leaves were still green, Gu Xiyan asked Liu Mei'er: "Who led us over?" ”

Liu Meier smiled: "Follow me!" ”

They walked out of the forest and walked east for about ten minutes along the edge of the forest, and then they saw a pagoda with about seven floors. ”

Gu Xiyan craned his neck and looked at the red lantern hanging on the pagoda, and said suspiciously: "This, isn't this a tower?" ”

Liu Meier also looked at the pagoda with her neck up: "Yes, this tower is called Yu Nian Pavilion." ”

Gu Xiyan was completely speechless, and said, "Do you still want to go to the top of the tower to eat New Year's dinner?" ”

"Of course not." Liu Mei'er glanced at Gu Xiyan, "The masters are on the second floor, and the others are on the first floor." I spent the Chinese New Year in Qi Mansion last year, and I sat on the first floor...... The top of this tower is dedicated to the ancestors of Qijiadi. Before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the Qi family will go to the top of the tower to worship the ancestors, and then wait for them to come down and serve the first family portrait dish, and after the grandfather and wife eat the first bite, they can start the feast. ”

Privately lowered, Wei Shiying almost didn't talk to Liu Mei'er, she silently followed behind Liu Mei'er and Gu Xiyan, listening to them with her ears.

By the time they walked to the Yu Nian Pavilion, it was already dark. All around are red lanterns, reflecting on the smiling faces, full of festive atmosphere.

The first floor of Yu Nian Pavilion is like the wedding banquet scene that has not officially begun, the tables, chairs, cups and chopsticks have been placed, and the people who participated in the banquet have also arrived one after another, everyone has chosen a place to sit down according to their familiarity, talking about the topics they are interested in, and the servants of Qi Mansion wearing blue clothes and blue skirts shuttle from time to time in front of the various round tables and hand over tea and water from time to time, and children are running around noisily. Behind him, he was followed by a mother-in-law who shouted "slow down, slow down" from time to time......

When they entered, they did not attract any special attention, except that the person sitting at the table by the door glanced up at them, and then continued to talk to their table mates about topics of interest.

Liu Mei'er was only slightly more familiar than Gu Xiyan and the others, and when she saw this, she was a little at a loss. She crossed her feet and looked around, but she didn't see a familiar face.

Wei Shiying had already said lukewarmly on the side: "Fifth sister." We're following you, and you're going to have to put us in a place. Liu Mei'er blushed.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly relieved her, pointed to a table by the door where no one was sitting, and said, "Why don't we just sit there?" ”

Liu Meier hurriedly responded and took the lead and walked over.

The group sat down, and someone served them tea. Wei Shiying looked left and right, and said cool words: "No wonder no one is sitting here, it turns out to be a wind outlet." ”

Wei Shiying's words are also good. The table they sat at was an air outlet, and from time to time a cold wind blew in, and it was very cold.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "It's all my fault, I chose a table randomly." Otherwise, let's change the table! ”

Wei Shiying smiled: "Sister Gu, don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you." Qi Mansion is also a famous nobleman, why Mrs. Ye has not passed the New Year. That's how the house is in chaos. The big Chinese New Year's Eve didn't even have a table arranged......"

As she was talking, there was suddenly a big noise at the door, and Gu Xiyan and his party all looked towards the door.

It turned out that Mrs. Zhou walked in with three young women and several mothers-in-law holding children, and the people in the house got up to greet them.

Liu Meier was overjoyed and shouted "Mrs. Zhou". It's a pity that there are too many people around Mrs. Zhou. One after another, An Sheng suppressed her voice, and Mrs. Zhou and her party did not hear her shouting at all. In a gorgeously dressed woman, Mrs. Zhou led her party to the second floor.

Wei Shiying snorted coldly. Turning around, he pulled a little girl who was making tea at the table next to him: "Which grandmother is in charge of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the Yu Nian Pavilion this time?" ”

The little girl smiled and said, "It's Mama Cai!" ”

"Good!" Wei Shiying's eyes showed that kind of loneliness again, "You help me find Mama Cai, just say that our people from Huaiyuan have something to find her!" ”

The little girl's smile froze on her face, and there was a hint of panic in her expression, so she hurriedly answered "yes", and then ran away in a panic.

Liu Mei'er said angrily: "What are you doing here?" ”

Wei Shiying glanced at Liu Mei'er disdainfully: "If we come by ourselves, it doesn't matter where we sit." But today, we are here on behalf of Mrs. Wei, how can we let them be so ruined! ”

Liu Mei'er blushed, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

If it were ordinary, Gu Xiyan would definitely sigh for Wei Shiying's words, but now they are in this bewitching and unclear Qi Mansion, impulse is the devil, and it is a life talisman.

Gu Xiyan grabbed Wei Shiying: "Mrs. Xu is not here, and it is not the time to officially enter the table, it is too early to say this." ”

Wei Shiying glanced at Gu Xiyan coldly and sat down angrily.

Liu Mei'er took the opportunity to pull Gu Xiyan: "Sister Gu, accompany me to Dengdong!" ”

Gu Xiyan turned out to be a frequent business traveler, and the first thing he did when he arrived in a strange place was to find a place to go to the toilet, not to mention that they would have to attend a banquet later, in case something happened...... She got up and replied to Wei Shiying: "Sister Wei, you wait for us, we will come back immediately." ”

Wei Shiying nodded coldly.
